Wardrobe feeling stale? We all have those days when getting dressed for work feels especially repetitive, but sometimes all it takes is a little jolt of inspiration to offer up some perspective. For example, why wear just one top when you can mix and match two? As it turns out, the best tops for layering are ones you already own; all it takes are some new ways to put them together. Below, we're highlighting four tops you already own and showing you exactly how to layer them in a way that offers you a whole new look. Playing with proportion, adding pops of color, and of course pairing pieces in ways you never expected will convince you that even basics can feel like anything but. To help you nail these layered ensembles, we picked out a few pieces we love now, just in case you're collection needs a boost. Check it all out below.

Who else is ready for spring?? It’s suddenly freezing here in So Cal but I don’t even care–I’m definitely over winter dressing at the moment! I shared this crop top and denim look over on IG and I think you guys are ready for warm weather, too! I got so many questions about the look (especially this crop top!) so I figured I’d post all the details here! The floral top is a recent find from Forever 21+. I’m in the size 3X here, but I like my crop tops on the looser side and definitely could have sized down to a 2X, so I’d say it fits true to size! The boyfriend jeans are from Silver Jeans, and are the Sam fit. It looks like this exact style is sold out online, but similar ones are available here and you can snag 20% off using this link until 3/6/18. The bamboo bag is my newest obsession from Cult Gaia (I’m so late to the party, I know), and a bit pricey but so cool! You can snag a 10% off code if you sign up for their emails. Shoes are past season from Target!
